Description
This sketch was inspired by the song 'DEMONS', for I thought it just applied to my character really well
About the picture (in this case sketch)
As usual, by now, these characters are Fred and Fabrizio, and before I even write anything about the sketch let me just mention that they are really special to me, so I hope you like them too. Anyway, Frederic (blond on the left for those who aren't familiar with them) is usually a very happy, cheerful and kind person, whereas Fab is usually cold and doesn't bother to talk to people nor have any contact with them. Still, Fred sometimes just breaks down, thinking of all bad things he's seen or been through, or even just as a result of bottling things up for too long (which he did/does a lot seeing as I do picture him to have struggled with depression or anything similar in the past, since I personally know how it feels and I can see that be applied to him), and he doesn't really need anything, he just needs to sit there and let it all out, and just like when he was a kid he just needs someone, anybody, to just be there for him.
He actually isn't used to cry neither, seeing as he is just way better at hiding things, in fear of bothering whoever he'd love to talk to; he's much of a listener and less of a talker, which is obviously a quality, but a flaw for any of those people who keep quiet and suffer inside for whatever reason. Still, back to the general topic, Fabrizio usually would fake to act cold towards him, despite the fact of them being a couple, especially in public, however, knowing of Fred's "demons" he surely doesn't like to let the chance of hear him out slip out of his hands.
Either way, I really relate to Fred, and this sketch only took me 20 minutes, so I thought 'why not'.

"I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide
(...)
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
(...)
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my D e m o n s hide" <

Her husband would say, "You know....this is familiar to me."

Irina would turn to him and raise an eyebrow, "...in what way? He was with another boy once, sure, but he never really came over here to threaten us. I think he honestly broke up with Frederic because he said he was too nice and not good enough for him...so how did it happen before?"

And her husband would say, ".......Oh no...."

Irina would get confused, "...What is it, then?"

Her husband would say, "......It's you and Grigorij all over again with him and your son. That boy was just like you when you were young.....and Fred.....he is like his father."

Irina would look at him shocked, "...What? I can see what you mean with Grigorij and my son... but me and that posh kid? I never threatened anyone or acted liked he did to anyone in Grigorij's family! The kid is way worse..."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He would say, "That may be but you threatened people who tried to harm Grigorij and you even threatened his parents....and he is stubborn."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Irina would shake her head, "It's two complete different things, I never acted like this boy around his parents, stubborn yes, but like him? No way! He is worse than me!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He would say, 'Well he is like you when you were young, and like you I think he won't stop at nothing until Fredrick is out of here."

She would stare at him and become more nervous, "...So what should I do? Tell me, do you have a better idea than me?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He would say, "I have no idea...because of that kid is like you, history is bound to repeat itself," and he would turn around and smirk, knowing that Fred will be leaving soon enough.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She would look nervous and shake her head, "If history is supposed to repeat itself then Fred is supposed to leave that kid like Grigorij did and I doubt that.. I'd worry about this other kid instead!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And her husband would say, "Then you better think of something quick, or Fredrick will be gone for good."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Irna would turn and snap at him, "How about you help me think?! You never backed up before!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He would shrug,"Well what can I do? If he's anything like your ex he would go with that kid in a heart beat."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She would shake her head, "But if he is like Grigorij then he is also supposed to leave him, I told you! And what then? Where will I get him then? He'll just be too far away from me! This has to stop!"

He wouldn't say anything.

And Irina would turn to him, "What? Why are you keeping quiet? You're supposed to support me!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He would say, "I am....but maybe it's time that boy did leave home, I mean after all you hate him so why is him leaving such an issue?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Irina would shake her head, "I hate him...I do.. but I am not DONE with him, he can't leave yet!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He would say, "Why's that?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Irina would shake her head, "Because.. because that child has RUINED me! He can't leave without fully paying fhe price first!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He would ask, "So what will you do before he leaves?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Irina would shake her head, "I will stop him here at the house and murder him, what choices have I got left?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He would raise an eyebrow, "Murder?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She would nod, "Yes. Murder him. What we have done to him will die in this house with him" and she'd look back at him, "...And you will help me. You hate him too"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He would say, "Yes I hate him, but why do you want to kill him? Wouldn't it be better if he left and we never see him again?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Irina would shake her head, "No. He will tell people about what we have done to him if he is alive!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And he would be confused, "Well he's never told anyone so far."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She'd shake her head, "This kid who came over knew... and so did my father.. he is spitting things out, that brat..."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He would say, "Well he's the least of your worries, it's that Posh kid you need to take care of. He's the one who's out for your blood,"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She'd shake ber head, "If we get rid of my kid he will just break down. I KNOW he will. In order to get to him I still need to get to Frederic..."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And he would say, "Well what if he comes after you?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She would look scary for a second and choose her words differently "...we'll send my regards to his mother because the boy will end up -killing himself- out if pain for the loss of my own kid....since he cares for him so much."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He would be concerned and say, "Irina, we can't afford to bring any attention to ourselves! If he dies after Fredrick is killed then people are going to suspect what we did, and if Fredrick dies your kids will accuse us of murder."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Irina would shake her head, "Oh no... Fred can easily be listed as a suicide himself. After all, he does havw those kind of tendencies, I saw him. His siblings will have evidence. And it won't draw any attention, to kill that other boy! If he starts talking at first they'll think he is crazy from pain!" And she'd laugh, "Don't you get it? It would all fit!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He would say, "....Yeah."
And while he hates Fred he doesn't want him dead because then people will find out.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Irina would turn to him, "... You didn't seem convinced to me."
Well he'd be right. Sure, he would WANT to kill Fred, he wouldn't mind, he'd just be more rational.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He owuld say, "Well other things have happened."
Yep, unlike Irina he knew there would be consequences. While he wishes he was dead he wanted to get him out of the house forever alive so he would avoid the police.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Irina would glare dangerously, "...And? How does that affect my plan?"
Indeed, unlike Irina he makes a clear difference between what he wishes to do and what he can actually do without letting anybody kniw about the two of them and Fred.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He would say, "Look, the police know of your reputation in your youth, and they have been called several times because they suspected the boy was being abused. If you do something we can all go to jail, maybe even face the death penalty for murder if you do it! Why do you want to kill him anyways? Your other kids left and when Fredrick leaves it will be no different, besides you hate them all so him leaving will finally free you of all of them."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Irina would frown and shake her head, "Well, they never caught us! Stupid teachers would call the cops on us because they did think he was abused, sure, but nothing ever happened! And it wasn't abuse, it was dicipline, just... that kid is a disgrace and deserved that! You know it too! And no, I hate him more! I don't want him to leave, I want him gone! I REALLY do!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He would ask her, "Then why death?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Irina would shake her head, "Because that is all he deserves! If he leaves I know he will be happy somehow and I do NOT want that!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He would blink, "Well you had no problem letting your other kids go, and they are happy, I mean Dasha is with her kids and Niolaj is seeing that girl from the bar."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Irina would shake her head, "I don't want FREDERIC to be happy! Who cares about the others! Fine with me, whatever they want!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He would say, "Why is Fredrick the one child who you want dead? Sure I despise the bastard myself, but why is he the only child you want dead? What's the reason Irina? Is it because he looks like Grigorij?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Irina would shake her head, "No... it's because of how constantly happy and nice he was...as if to laugh at me saying what I did wouldn't hurt him. He had no reason to be happy then and I do not want to give him a chance now either!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He would say, "...Well..he doesn't seem afraid of you anymore.....when you hit him he doesn't flinch or cry."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She would shake her head, "Little brat never cried when he was small either. He would never whine ot cry in front of us as we hit him and then in the middle of the night he'd just break down from pain. He WAS a terrible child and still is! I mean, how could we forget that? The only time he'd cry was when he'd lock him in that sort of closet room downstairs... or rather you would, he woukd be terrified of that. Do you remember? Cos I do.But anything else? He never cried. So let's see if he does if we try to kill him."
